Update on the tennis

Turns out we learned a lot about tennis this past 2 days. Ben played so hard with the racquets K got him that they felt apart. Later we learned why – its because those were Badminton’s racquets (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton). He was still into it so without thinking much we just decided to invest on it. We went to Play it again sports and we learned the difference between jrs and adult racquets. We got Ben a nice racquet and as well one for Dan & I and balls. He played for the rest of the afternoon! It totally surprised me that he was ok with not being able to do it right the way. He was being patience and trying so hard but still having fun with it!
I do not regret! =) Now I need to get on the ball and make sure I sign him up for April classes.

Sabe que nos ultimos dois dias aprendemos muito sobre tenis! O Benjamin brincou tanto com a raquete que a Kristin comprou para ele que ela derreteu. Depois descobrimos que foi porque elas nao sao para jogar tenis e sim um jogo chamado Badminton (http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badminton) onde se usa tipo uma peteca!

Entao fomos a uma loja de equipamentos esportivos usados mas em otima condicao! Ai compramos uma raquete para o tamanho dele e tambem compramos uma para o Dan e para mim tambem assim podemos jogar com ele. Ele me chocou totalmente pois achei que ele nao ia ter paciencia, ia ficar irritado e desistir mas nao – ele esta firma, tentando com muito esforco e saindo-se muito bem, E principalmente se divertindo! Nao me arrependo de ter investido! =)

Agora nao posso perder o dia da matricula para as aulas de tenis em abril!

I'm sorry, but that is hilarious about the badminton racket!!! Well now you know, right? Seriously, I think it's so cute that he's so into this. Don't feel guilty that it's taking a little while to get the lessons started. The fact that you are encouraging it is gold for your little boy!
